After overcoming many obstacles from failing the 1st grade to being in the foster care system, he persevered despite all odds to not only earn his Master of Science degree in both Manufacturing and Engineering Management, but a Doctorate of Education in Leadership and Management. In addition, Dr. Kimbrough has earned his Lean Six-Sigma Master Black Belt and Executive Leadership Coaching Certifications. Dr. Kimbrough is the author of Game On: Tools and Strategies for Living on Purpose and The Struggle: Discovering the Leader Within.
